Hey guys thought id talk about my day yesterday forging and a few things i came up agansit. My goal for the forge was to get a full leaf made up so i could put it next to my drawings and really get a feel for it in the steel.

I made it quick with gas axe, i wasnt really happy with the nib and the form needs some refining. So i got drawing up different ideas.

These are the drawings, i settled on the bottom one because i like the slight bend. On wednesday i want to get the gas axe out again and make a sample up like this.

This is a sample i did before the drawings with the texture put on to it, i quite like the texture but i do want to see what adrian said about texturing the full bar under the hammer then bending it. Something to do on wednesday.

In other news, i have just got a commision recently to make a few small key rings in a specific way. Lot of stuff to do.
